Zipper 20” or longer, polyester all-purpose only (Do not use a ­­metal or sport-weight zipper.) Candice includes directions to be made with/without a zipper.Bag Support Bag-E-Bottom Size A (#LGD500) from Lazy Girl DesignsOptional ‘D’ Rings: 1”: Four rings (Clover item #9538 shown)

A nice lightweight interfacing gives all of the pockets a little extra support and shape without the bulk of heavier interfacings. Shape flex is a thin and lightweight woven product that fuses quickly and is easy to work with. When fused in place it adds almost no thickness to the project, but it does add support and shape. The result is similar to spray starch. It feels very nice in the hand. Give it a try and see what you think.

Wow, do you know how badly I wished I had this pattern over the last week when I was making myself a new fall bag? I did many of the same things as your bag but I did it blindly and it is not near as nice as yours. I am all over your new pattern….I’ll be so happy to blog about it too!
